Anyone can make a passable photo with an iPhone or iPad, but in order to craft images that you're truly proud to share, it’s necessary to hone your skills—and your sense of adventure. Over five days, Dan Burkholder supports you in doing exactly that. Under his expert tutelage, we dig deep into innovative capture, editing, and stylizing techniques.

No longer limited to working with JPEGs, we plunge into the flexible world of raw files. From motion studies to window light and painting with light, participants learn to take full advantage of all the ways in which iPhones and mobile devices excel at assignments that once could have been only tackled by a heavy DSLR. (And, yes, we also learn when it is time to pick up a larger camera for specific tasks.)

By going on location and engaging in informative lectures and demonstrations in The Workshops state-of-the-art digital lab, you take your iPhone photography in creative new directions, while assembling a bandolier of visual techniques that elevate your images above the homogeneity of boiler-plate filter effects and borders.

If you love Instagram and Hipstamatic but long to create a more individualized look for your smart phone and iPad images, this is the workshop for you!

Dan Burkholder has a long history of inventing, exploring, teaching and exhibiting the next great thing in imaging. His book, iPhone Artistry, is considered the most comprehensive and fun how-to book for iPhone photographers. His poignant monograph, The Color of Loss, intimately documented the flooded interiors of post-Katrina New Orleans and is the first coffee table book photographed entirely using HDR (high dynamic range) methods.

His award-winning book, Making Digital Negatives for Contact Printing, has become a standard resource in the fine art photography community and his platinum/palladium and inkjet prints are included in private and public collections internationally. This is his 17th year teaching at The Workshops. Dan’s website is www.DanBurkholder.com.
